A joint operations center run by Likud and Religious Zionism is working to prevent election fraud as part of the parties’ preparations for the upcoming vote. Channel 14 reported Wednesday evening for the first time that nearly 2,000 poll observers from the parties are expected to be deployed to Arab communities and polling stations in those towns.
Most of the observers will be yeshiva students from Religious Zionism, but a significant portion will operate under Likud credentials—a larger party with more allocated observer slots.
The observers will undergo special training and receive briefings on what to monitor, how to stay alert, and what actions to take in case of unexpected problems.
